Abstract:

As the promoter and leader of regional integration, the CPC plays a central role in cross-regional governance. It provides a strong political guarantee for breaking down barriers between regions and between organizations, achieving regional cooperation and optimization through the allocation of resources. In recent years, the Yangtze River Delta region has promoted cross-regional governance communities through cross-regional Party building communities. This exploration of a new type of Party building model called “regional Party building integration” covers a variety of practical forms. The existing research theoretical analysis perspectives are insufficient. In this article, the focus is on the “Party” and the theoretical interpretation of the concept of “regional Party building integration.” The study’s analytical model of “Party-driven cross-regional collaborative governance” reveals the mechanism and practical framework for driving cross-regional collaborative governance. This analytical model reveals that regional Party building integrates the public authority system, organizational network system, and resource sharing system of multiple entities. Thus, it becomes the “driving force” for cross-regional collaborative governance and achieves regional integrative development. The mechanism of regional Party building integration provides structural support in terms of target allocation, relationship networks, and rule systems. It also provides action support in terms of political leadership, ideological guidance, information communication, and resource supply. This framework of regional Party building integration forms a multi-level network through organizational construction. The purpose is to achieve overall guidance and promotion through coordinated integration and to form an open cycle process through collaborative links. The actual significance of regional Party building integration is not just to provide a practical framework for cross-regional collaborative governance. It is also to provide a system arrangement for achieving regional modernization and driving forward the Chinese path to modernization.
